Swing is good. Want to say that so don’t take people’s opinions to seriously lol. But your takeaway rolls inside a bit and club head looks low. What helped me is to feel like I’m pushing the club down with my left wrist at takeaway. 45 degree angle and little turn blended creates the takeaway. ▶ this video

They should be straight out in front. Looks like your moving them across your chest, getting inside and stuck. See ▶ this video for better explanation.

Your back swing is actually too long. Your hands get way behind your shoulders which is a problem. It only looks shorter because your hands dont hinge at all. Heres an instructional video that shows you what hinge should look like: ▶ this video

I would just stand a bit taller, your knees should be “lightly” flexed. You’ll probably need to stand a bit further from the ball when you do this but should be good once you get the feel for it. Also on your takeaway try not to roll your wrists. If you practice turning and keeping your wrists stable they will naturally turn towards the top. Once you get the feeling there you can start trying to add more wrist set. …
